The Tea Story

Where Every Cup Begins

Every cup begins among the slopes of Glentilt, where misty mornings, fertile soils and gentle mountain slopes shape the leaf long before it reaches the factory.

The Place

A Landscape Made for Tea

Glentilt rests among the cool highlands of Ceylon, where misty mornings, fertile soils and gentle mountain slopes give the estate its growing conditions.

The Leaf

It Begins with the Leaf

Tender young leaves are selectively harvested by hand, so the quality of a tea is decided on the slope long before it reaches the factory.

The Region

Shaped by the Highlands

The highland year turns between cooler, drier months and heavier rain, and each harvest carries something of the weather it grew through, in subtle shifts of aroma and character from one picking to the next.
